This lesson could be used for one lesson. However, to gain the most out of this I suggest using it over a two lesson period dependent upon how much detail / discussion you wish to go into.
Hook starter: As pupils enter the room the presentation will display an autonomously moving spot light to reveal a picture clue about the lesson.
Learning Intention and differentiated outcomes (SMSC). The lesson is structured in order to achieve the learning outcomes:
Expected: You can describe & explain the problems on the Home-front. (SMSC).
Challenge: You can explain how DORA & rationing helped overcome these.
Stretch: You can evaluate and analyse the impact of government intervention.
Activities include a museum walk of propaganda posters, a diamond 9 ranking task of DORA's laws, discussion points from videos (SMSC / modern day link opportunities). Pupils finally consolidate though answering a structured 8 mark exam style question. If time I then ask my pupils to peer assess with WW / EBI.
Videos are embedded or I have included the links in the presentation description.
Hook starter: As pupils enter the room the presentation will display an autonomously moving spot light to reveal a picture clue of the D-Day landings.
